Article: Stroke, I hate you.

Hi Marcus

An interesting magazine - thanks you for including us in you discoveries. Much appreciated!

 I found the article on Brain Stem Stroke certainly related to my own experience.  I had a clot in my brain stem - and yes everything described is relevant.  I have always respected my journey of recovery - good times and very very hard times.  I always strived to be a person not a description however the need for me to read the descriptions was a reminder of the  severity of  impact  by my stroke to myself at the time.

The Stroke: I hate you article is also a very powerful honest story which will ring true for many.

Keep smiling!

Hi Sue, 

I just watched a documentary called 'My Beautiful Broken Brain' in Netflix. It is a story of a 34-year-old woman, a photographer, and filmmaker had a massive stroke. From the very start, she films were recovered, her triumphs, achievements, and floundering rehab. 

If you have a chance, please watch it. It shows to 'normal' people what it feels like after a stroke. 

From that article, Stroke Connection, I have started to put together my photos and my terrible 'thoughts' - I refuse to say poetry as it is so simple. I am starting to believe that poetry will help me to understand and accept the world I live in. 

Best, 

Marcus
